HDG and OBS setting problem

It uses the Baron HSI. Noticed the heading and obs adjust knobs worked only in increments of 10deg. No problem I thought, have my own knobs, but they did the same...

Looking further into that, found out the HEADING_BUG_INC and HEADING_BUG_DEC events had been changed to increments of 10 (same with OBS1 settings). Probably something in the TBM-700 panel, but can't look at it as it's a gau-file.

Any idea what can be causing this, and how to reset to normal so I can use the "normal" gauges?

In meantime changed my knob code to (roughly explained)(A:Autopilot Heading Lock Dir,degrees) 1 + (>K:Heading_Bug_Set)
so the panel is workable, just curious on the above.

This behavior is typically a result of some poorly coded/scripted gauge that's generating a "race condition," that is some event is being continuously fired, flooding the panel system with repeated commands at an 18Hz rate...

...this leaves FS panel system with no time to process any other command events.

Doug Dawson released a free tool several years ago that will help identify what event is at fault: event_logger.gaufsx_event_logger.zip available at AVSIM.

So no problems anymore, can use the HEADING_BUG_INC, _DEC and similar OBS events again, VOR1 and VOR2 identity works, and so does the pitot heating.

Now for another problem, on which I'll probably get a NJET.
The orginal switches also triggered a warning light on a general annuciator panel in the cockpit. Is it possible to figure out what internal variables have to be set so that the annunciator panel responds to my newly made switches ???
